Categories: Spread
Yield: 12 Servings
| 3 | qt | Unsweetened Applesauce |
| 2 | lb | Granulated Sugar |
| 1 | lb | Brown Sugar |
| 3/4 | c | Apple Cider |

The thicker skinned, late Summer and Fall apples produce a grainier
texture that's best for applesauce.
Stir applesauce, sugars, and cider together and cook in a slow oven (325
deg F.) for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Add spices. Return to oven and
cook 1 hour more. Apple butter requires long, slow cooking. (Can also be
made in a crockpot.)
